A 32-year-old man who exited his vehicle after it spun out of control in Coyote Valley in the middle of a heavy rainstorm died after jumping out of the way of an oncoming vehicle.

Abundio Prudente reportedly got out of their vehicle with another occupant when they noticed an approaching vehicle that was spinning out-of-control and dove to opposite directions. He ended up falling some 30 feet onto Coyote Creek Trail.

Rescuers had a hard time securing Prudente because of the heavy rains and lack of daylight to guide them. Prudente died at the hospital after less than an hour of being rescued.

In the initial vehicle accident on Highway 101 that Prudente got involved in, no one was reportedly injured. But in the second one, he probably did not notice the dive that he was about to take after jumping out of the path of an oncoming vehicle that was probably spinning out of control because of the slippery road.

In weather conditions like this, motorists should maintain their speed limit as they should expect a rain-drenched road that may be too slippery.

At least one person was injured in a fire accident near E Street recently that engulfed a mobile home in Chula Vista. He was treated for smoke inhalation.

The recent accident in mobile-home Park on Broadway could have injured other residents had the firefighters not responded immediately.

If a person will be proven to be responsible for a fire accident because of his negligence in his property, he may have to shoulder all the expenses that resulted from the fire which includes hospitalization of the victims and replacement of damaged property.

To avoid claims for premise liability, owners must be careful in maintaining the good condition of their property.

A Huntington Beach woman died from a “freak” accident when she slipped and fell while crossing a creek. She and her boyfriend was said to be staying near Telluride, Colorado for snow boarding when the accident happened.

MaryScott King’s snowboard guide tried to keep water off her face when her helmet got stuck between two rocks trapping her below the surface. King was no longer breathing and had no pulse when rescuers responded.

King and her boyfriend, Carlo Nafarrete, both loved extreme sports and so they were always taking risks each time they engaged in it, but, caution should never be disregarded as danger can strike when a person is most vulnerable.

Slip and fall accidents can happen to anyone at any given time especially if they are walking on a slippery surface.

Crosswalks are made so that pedestrians can cross the streets safely. If they do not use these designated areas, they are in danger of being hit by moving or crossing vehicles.

This is exactly what happened to a 58-year-old homeless man who died after he was struck by a mini-van in Laguna Beach.

According to authorities, Charles Reginald Conwell, 58, was struck by the van driven by a 45-year-old woman, from Mission Viejo, while he was crossing the street outside of a designated crosswalk along the 1700 block of Laguna Canyon Road.

Authorities believed that the man was not using the marked crosswalk area when he was hit.

Conwell was brought to Mission Hospital Laguna Beach where he died later in the day. Meanwhile, no occupant of the mini-van was harmed in the incident.

Authorities are still investigating the accident.

Although drivers are required to be cautious of pedestrians, vehicle accidents may still happen if the latter failed to use the designated crosswalks. Pedestrians can easily sustain severe or fatal injuries when they are hit by vehicles because their bodies are vulnerable to injuries caused by the massive impact and force of moving vehicles.

The susceptibility of a vehicle to rollover has been continuously talked about due to the danger it brings to all road users. According to statistics, around 280 rollover accidents that cause 10,000 fatal injuries happen in the United States annually.

Another man recently died after the Toyota Camry he was driving was involved in a rollover accident.

Authorities said Alen Nazarian, 37, from Orange County was traveling on the freeway south of the border patrol checkpoint when he lost control of the vehicle for unknown reasons.

The Camry then rolled numerous times before coming to a stop along the right shoulder.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police suspect that alcohol may have been a factor in the crash.

Driving cautiously is one of the main ways to avoid being involved in fatal accidents. In addition, drivers should carefully choose which vehicle type they will buy because records show that some vehicle types are more prone to rollovers.

Doctors are expected to provide their patients with the best care possible. If they failed to do so, disastrous results can materialize like in the case of a woman who was pregnant with octuplets.

According to the California Medical Board, the actions of Beverly Hills fertility doctor Michael Kamrava went beyond the logical judgment of a treating physician after he continually provided fertility treatment to a woman.

The state licensing body is now accusing the doctor of violating imposed personal guidelines and negligence.

Nadya Suleman earlier named Kamrava as her doctor. Documents show that his patient conceived octuplets.

She gave birth the previous year.

No hearing date has been currently set concerning the case.

Being accused of negligence is not something doctors can easily ignore because their credibility might be ruined even if the accusation is not yet proven. To avoid being involved in such situation, doctors should carefully study the case of all their patients before treating them.
